Why not keep the information of input values in a list, or vector?
What is gained by storing that info in the variable _name_ ? Your
function could return a list with both the result and the input value.
While you did say that this was part of something complex, I suspect
your post might be a case of "Being overly specific and not stating
your real goal."
